Thanks James, Naomi, and Gary,

The call to CURSORSETPROP("MapBinary", .T., 0) seems to have done the trick. Under the debugger, I now see that VARTYPE(BlobData) = "Q". And, if I loop over the size of the blob, I can use SUBSTR(BlobData. nInc, 1) to transfer all of the bytes into my array.

So, that seems to have answered that question. I'm not completely sure until I can check this with the client that actually processes the byte array. I'll let you know.

Thanks again,
Jim
